Does not like Win2k

The game evidently does not like Windows 2k.

I downloaded the demo, and installed the game. I started the game, and the game miminized itself to a just above my start menu. I clicked on it, but nothing happened. (Alt-Ctrl-Del) The game was showing as running. (Alt-Tab) The screen went black, blinked a bit, then back to the desk top I went.

I tried to right click and close the game, no effect.

Alt-Ctrl-Del and tried to end the process. That is when this occured:Click Too See

I am sorry, but I think the demo is Non-Win2k compatible.

I must say though, listing to the music is quite nice. Excellent work here. I love it.

I am looking forward to playing this game. Very much so in fact.

It might be a Video Card issue, but then again, both my Direct X and Video Card drives are both current.

The game will start then miminize. When I click on it, my screen goes black. I have to Alt CTRL Del out of it. The Last time I tried, I did not get any error Messages. However the game was reported as NOT RESPONDING.

Aaron, I believe it is an issue with the GeForce card. The game ran fine on my other Win2k system. It took me a while to get the game onto that computer as it has no Internet access. (I had to unhook this one, and hook that one up. Then the Network card was bad. Had to swap...Sorry a tangent)

The bottom line is that it ran fine on that system. I believe it is the GeForce causing the game to lock.

The other PC has a 3dfx Voodoo 3. God I miss 3dfx.
